Just Me

I'm struggling.

FUCKKKKKKK what if something bad happened and I forgot to worry about it

You know as an American born in the late 90s I’ve watched my country blow up foreigners on tv supposedly in the interest of national security since I was a toddler but quite frankly we live on a natural fortress of a continent with friendly nations to our north and south and have been attacked on our own soil literally two times in the past hundred years and we have military bases on every inhabited continent on earth. It’s never made sense to do these things for “national security”. It never will make sense unless you value the shareholders of weapons companies over the lives of children. And apparently a concerning amount of people do.

In the song "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," Billie Joe Armstrong sings that he "walk[s]" alone and that he is "the only one." However, the music video clearly shows him walking with Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool. Which is it, Billie Joe Armstrong? Why must you lie, Billie Joe Armstrong?

[vaspider]

Well.

It's literally a song about feeling alone in a city or crowd.

So.

[kosher-toasty]

That does make sense, and in retrospect I get it now. However. Being that it would mean my post is no longer funny, I must unfortunately banish you to The Slightly Weird Zone. au revoir

[vaspider]

I already live in Portland, you can't banish me here.

"Just because I'm right, doesn't mean I'm being helpful" is a vastly underrated thought process that I strongly encourage others to get comfortable with

yes we are all very impressed with the depth of your research. Your 27 citations in two sentences, however, goes past ‘impressive’ and becomes ‘your historical article looks like the goddamn warrior cats wiki page for firestar’

[uss-edsall]

Genuinely what this article looks like

[hidden-but]

Than there is the other option:

which makes one grateful for citation styles that contracts the 90 references into one, instead of doing stuff like

this.

because yes, we are really very impressed with the depth of your research, but come on

#1 reads like you're stopping to take a breath in between every second of your presentation.

#2 reads like a pause to slap a 5-meter-thick pile of files onto the table.

No one talks enough about the guilt of being alive

social anxiety so bad i wonder if i’m welcome at places i was invited to.

that empty feeling when i go home and realize there's no one waiting to hear about my day, no one asking how i've been, what happened throughout my day or how tired i am.

[manicscales]

I hope in the next life I’m loved from the start.

Lonely nights.
